IAmazonKinesis.PutRecord (PutRecordRequest)

Method

Search:

Writes a single data record into an Amazon Kinesis data stream. Call PutRecord
to send data into the stream for real-time ingestion and subsequent processing, one
record at a time. Each shard can support writes up to 1,000 records per second, up
to a maximum data write total of 1 MB per second.

You must specify the name of the stream that captures, stores, and transports the
data; a partition key; and the data blob itself.

The data blob can be any type of data; for example, a segment from a log file, geographic/location
data, website clickstream data, and so on.

The partition key is used by Kinesis Data Streams to distribute data across shards.
Kinesis Data Streams segregates the data records that belong to a stream into multiple
shards, using the partition key associated with each data record to determine the
shard to which a given data record belongs.

Partition keys are Unicode strings, with a maximum length limit of 256 characters
for each key. An MD5 hash function is used to map partition keys to 128-bit integer
values and to map associated data records to shards using the hash key ranges of the
shards. You can override hashing the partition key to determine the shard by explicitly
specifying a hash value using the ExplicitHashKey parameter. For more
information, see Adding
Data to a Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.

PutRecord returns the shard ID of where the data record was placed and
the sequence number that was assigned to the data record.

Sequence numbers increase over time and are specific to a shard within a stream, not
across all shards within a stream. To guarantee strictly increasing ordering, write
serially to a shard and use the SequenceNumberForOrdering parameter.
For more information, see Adding
Data to a Stream in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide.

If a PutRecord request cannot be processed because of insufficient provisioned
throughput on the shard involved in the request, PutRecord throws ProvisionedThroughputExceededException.

The request was rejected because the state of the specified resource isn't valid for
this request. For more information, see How
Key State Affects Use of a Customer Master Key in the AWS Key Management Service
Developer Guide.

The request rate for the stream is too high, or the requested data is too large for
the available throughput. Reduce the frequency or size of your requests. For more
information, see Streams
Limits in the Amazon Kinesis Data Streams Developer Guide, and Error
Retries and Exponential Backoff in AWS in the AWS General Reference.
